Chillout Stones

These are my latest idea which was inspired by a day at the beach.

Fairy Dust

Spent yesterday evening making Fairy Dust.  I am now offering 1 bottle for £1.20, 5 bottles for £5 or 50 bottles for £45.
They come in red, pink, silver, gold and green or you can get Space Dust in blue. 

You can have any combination of colours, just let me know!

New Ideas

I have been away on holiday and have come up with some new ideas which I will be trying out and putting up here hopefully in the next few days.  Today I have been catching up with items  I need to make for my next craft fair so have made up lots of fairy dust and trying to sort out what else I need to take.  Once that craft fair is over I will be looking forward to Christmas.

My items are being sold in a shop!!

Yay, have managed to get two of my items for sale in a local shop.  Kindred Spirit in Maws Craft Centre are going to be selling my fairy dust and my wishing bands.  Very exciting!

The bands come in a hessian bag with the rhyme:

As you tie your wishing band
around your ankle or your wrist.
The fairy magic will emerge
And every star will grant a wish.

 

Freeform crochet style wristband

Cute Little Bird

This cute little bird was based on a pattern I found online.  Could be made in Christmas colours for your tree or just hung up to put a smile on your face.

My daughter is a crafter too

Here are some charms that my daughter made today

Today's New Creations

I have been busy today again trying to come up with new ideas.  Here are some of the products of my labours:

Hair Slides

Another set of hair slides that I have been asked to make.

These are in lovely bright pink, white and purple.  I also need to make some in green.

Star themed items

Today's ideas are all themed around stars. Here are some of the things I have come up with.

Firstly a star hair slide with a star on it. Then a wishing on a star badge with the word 'wish' and a mini star. Lastly a wishing bracelet covered in stars.

Will hopefully come up with some more ideas later.

New Commisions

I am visiting a shop on Friday who sell fairy and dragon related items to try and sell some of my items.  They are interested in fairy dust, but I am also working on some wish bands, magic wand pencil toppers, elf hats and tryign to think of lots of other ideas too.

Lots of projects today

Here are a selection of photos of the things I have been working on today.

Making a start on Christmas

I have started some Christmas items. I plan to make some Christmas bunting to go around the tree with hearts, stars and snowflakes. Struggling to make a nice small snowflake at the moment, but the hearts and stars are sorted.

 

They can be made into hanging decorations for the tree too as well as badges, charms and card decorations.

Heart Handbag Charm

A simple charm as I am trying to find ideas for cheap items. This could sell for 50p.

Button Bracelet

I wanted to try a quick project today so made a button bracelet.  Just braided 3 strands of yarn and knotted the ends and then sewed the buttons on, simple!

Christmas

I want to get organised early for Christmas this year so am already thinking of ideas for my Christmas craft stalls.  I want to make bunting and Christmas tree decorations as well as doing Christmas themed paintings and charms.

Cushions

My next project is making cushion covers with freeform crochet designs on them.  It is taking a while to get started as I am busy at the moment but have nearly finished the first basic cover ready to decorate.

Braided Bracelets

My daughters have made these to sell at the festival we are going to at the weekend.

Space Dust

I have made lots of little bottles of space dust to sell at the festival at the weekend.

More mini art

Here are some more of the paintings that I have been doing.

Busy

Been really busy today making new things to sell at The Big Green Gathering at the weekend. I have made 3 purses with hemp leaf designs, 7 mini owls, 2 sets of daisy bunting, 6 flower mobile phone charms, 2 daisy brooches and with the kids I have made 17 bracelets.

Craft Fair Today

I will be having a stall at the Arts and Crafts market at Victoria Hall Broseley today from 10.30 - 3.30.  There will be a great range of different stalls and I will be selling a whole range of products from hair slides, bookmarks and brooches to bags, purses and keyrings.  I also have a few paintings, notebooks, and of course fairy dust!

Flower Hair Slides

I have been asked a few times for hair slides with flowers on, so here are some that I made yesterday.

Mini Art

I saw some tiny little canvases the other day and loved the idea of being able to make some mini pictures. Here is what I came up with:

Hanging Hearts

These hearts are covered in pretty buttons and have little bows at the top.  Selling for £4 each.

Daisy Hairband

This simple daisy headband will cost £2 for anyone who is interested.

Newest Creations

I have been working hard on making new items for a craft fair on Saturday.  Here are some of them:

I have made some brooches and charms and some plaster of paris hanging hearts and green men.

Mystical Space Dust

I found some lovely little bottles to make fairy dust. While I wait for my fairy charms to arrive to go on them I have made a few jars of space dust instead.

Small Cushion

I used a variation of my flower purse designs to create a landscape on a mini cushion.

If you would like one like this, then contact me with the size you would like and pattern and I will tell you how much it will be.

Charms

I have been making some new charms using a mix of crochet and beads.

Purses

I have been trying out some new designs and have made some little flowery purses.  One is totally covered with flowers and other crochet designs on the front and back:

 I have also created a simpler design with just a single flower on it

Elephants

I made a group if elephants for the school fair, these lonely pair are still avaliable for looking after and can be made into a brooch or mobile phone charm.

School Fair

I am having a stall at the school fair at my daughters school fair tonight.  Looks like it will be indoors because of the weather, but hopefully it will still attract plenty of parents.

I'm selling lots of cheaper items like brooches, mobile phone charms, bookmarks, and notebooks so hopefully will be able to attract a few buyers.

Crochet Belt

My daughter needs a belt for her trousers so I decided to try to make her one, she was very pleased with the result.
